You voted for a regime that's just murdered tens of thousands that would have survived if said regime had done the right thing.

Well done.

Who knew what the right thing was ? In fact who knew anything ? Everyone was scrabbling around trying to work out how to contain the virus and keep the country going economically. This is not China where they can say, stay in or you will be shot, hell it took ages for people to wear a mask. However the government got the vaccine right, helped pay for its development and is rolling it out. Thankful for small mercies perhaps, but I’d rather be here than in France....

I would - but i'm sure they could structure the timetable so that the most vulnerable wouldn't have to travel distances/attend during unsociable hours

This thing needs to go in as many people's arms as possible - as quickly as possible

The most vulnerable are getting all of the first vaccines because the top four groups account for nearly 90% of the deaths....

Got to have hope mate.

Where there is hope, there is life. Month 11 in a few days time for me. Still hoping.

Nothing wrong with hope. But last summer/autumn was a calamity and a waste in terms of putting in a plan to test and trace. That cant be repeated. Realistic expectations and embracing a different way of life will be as key as any vaccine to make life tolerable again. Too many are impatient to do another summer/autumn 2020 though.

I'm hoping we can see some stuff happen in the summer. We'll see how it goes.

I don't see why - if everybody who goes has tested negative (twice!) or has a vaccine - that it shouldn't be allowed to go ahead.

How the hell would it spread in that case? If EVERYBODY has tested negative or has the vaccine. It simply wouldn't be possible, would it?

Or does covid suddenly just develop from nowhere? Meaning we might as well sack vaccines off altogether anyway? What's the point. Sack life off.

at the very least, stuff should be open - and open freely. Wear masks on transport, in shops etc, but there shouldn't be lockdowns or curfews.

That's false. You dont have to be an authoritarian state to live and cope with Covid19. Plenty of examples in that part of the world of nations that dont fit the Chinese state model and suppress the virus.
